To be quite honest, I'm definitely a waffle type of girl. Waffles over pancakes or french toast, any day. Here's the thing, though: when I have a plate of chocolate strawberry cheesecake stuffed french toast in front of me.... that's another story.

This recipe is perfect for the holiday season (for breakfast or dessert), and is ooey-gooey, rich, and decadent. I mean, cheesecake is easily one of my favorite foods, so a cream cheese-stuffed french toast topped with berries, chocolate spread, whipped topping, and powdered sugar is heaven on earth.

And honestly, you can't really go wrong with this recipe either. You can use your favorite type of bread for this recipe: white, wheat, ciabatta, or even cinnamon raisin. The strawberries can easily be switched up for any type of fruit, and I'm sure this would be delicious with almond, peanut, or cashew butter, a caramel sauce, or even cookie butter.
